One Move, Patriarch Xuanji
Li Yunjing stopped, and the group behind him also stopped and became alert.
"You're in quite a mood, waiting here all the way," Li Yunjing said calmly. "What, you can't wait to make your move before the three-day period is up?"
"Make a move?" Wei Xiao sneered. "Sect Leader Li, you're exaggerating. I was just offering a word of advice. Activating the earth veins is no small matter. With the foundation of your Luozhen Sect, you simply can't do it."
Forcibly activating it will only trigger a ley line up, harming both yourself and others.
"No need to trouble yourself," Li Yunjing said calmly. "Whether it works or not, we'll know once we try."
"It seems Sect Leader Li is determined to go his own way." Wei Xiao's face darkened. "Since that's the case, then I cannot let you pass. The great cause of Jianzhou concerns the lives of all beings in the Dao Realm; we cannot allow you to act recklessly."
"What, you want to make a move?" Li Yunjing's eyes turned slightly cold.
"There's no need to take action." Behind Wei Xiao, an old man with a sinister face spoke, his tone cold. "As long as Sect Leader Li leaves behind the map of Jianzhou and the information on the earth's veins, and Great Heart Devil Oath, promising never to participate in Jianzhou's affairs again, we will let you pass. Otherwise, this Great Wilderness wilderness will likely have a few more souls lost today."
A blatant threat.
The members of the Luozhen Sect glared angrily and unleashed their Law Artifact, a great battle about to erupt.
Li Yunjing suddenly laughed.
"You five Void Refinement think you can keep me here?"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already vanished from the spot.
Almost simultaneously, Wei Xiao's expression changed drastically. "Be careful!"
Boom!!!
A terrifying fluctuation of Space Principle erupted.
Li Yunjing's figure appeared in front of the sinister old man like a ghost. He threw a punch, causing space to collapse. The fist wind carried the pressure of the Dao Realm Origin and went straight for the opponent's face.
The sinister old man was terrified. In his haste, he crossed his arms to protect himself, and a thick, earthy-yellow spiritual light shone from his body.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the spiritual light shattered instantly.
The sinister old man was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a huge crater.
One move, and he severely injured an Early Void Refinement!
The entire hall fell silent.
The people of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect were all stunned.
They knew Li Yunjing was at the Middle Void Refinement Stage, but they never expected him to be this strong! A fellow Void Refinement Stage, yet he severely injured an elder with a single move?
Wei Xiao was both shocked and furious. "Li Yunjing! How dare you lay a hand on me!"
"You were the ones who blocked our way first." Li Yunjing hovered in the air, his blue robe fluttering, his eyes icy. "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all this nonsense?"
"Fine, fine!" Wei Xiao laughed angrily. "Since you won't listen to reason, then don't blame us for ganging up on you! Attack him together! Take him down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining four Void Refinement Stage elders attacked simultaneously.
Various colored lights shot into the sky, Law Technique, Law Treasure, and supernatural Divine Ability bombarded Li Yunjing from all directions.
The combined attack of the four Void Refinement Stage was terrifying, tearing the very space apart with cracks.
"Sect Leader, be careful!"
The members of the Luozhen Sect exclaimed in surprise and wanted to step forward to help, but none of them were at the Void Refinement cultivation level, so they couldn't intervene at all.
Li Yunjing remained calm despite being surrounded by four people.
He swayed and used spatial teleportation to weave through the dense attacks. The attacks grazed his clothes but never managed to touch him.
"Space Principle?!" Wei Xiao's pupils contracted.
No wonder he's so difficult to deal with; he's even mastered the Space Principle!
"Don't let him escape! Set up the Four Symbols Heaven-Trapping Formation!" Wei Xiao shouted sternly.
The four changed their moves simultaneously, their figures shifting rapidly to occupy four different positions.
Countless array patterns flew out from their bodies, intertwining in the air to form a huge Four Symbols array, which descended upon Li Yunjing.
"Trying to trap me?"
Li Yunjing sneered and stopped dodging.
He formed hand seals, and his body shone with a brilliant azure light, pushing the power of the Dao Realm Origin to its limit.
"The Dao Realm Suppress Hell Seal!"
With a low shout, a huge, azure-colored handprint appeared out of thin air, carrying a terrifying pressure that suppressed everything, and slammed down fiercely towards the Four Symbols Formation.
This strike, infused with the power of the Dao Realm Origin, was Divine Ability that Li Yunjing comprehended after breaking through to the Middle Void Refinement Stage.
Boom!!!
A deafening roar, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart.
The Four Symbols Formation instantly twisted and caved in, then shattered with a deafening roar.
The four elders simultaneously groaned and flew backward, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
One move, broke the formation, and injured four people!
Wei Xiao steadied himself, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Li Yunjing.
That's incredible!
This is no ordinary Middle Void Refinement Stage! This combat power might not even be a match for Void Refinement Peak Stage!
Little did he know that Li Yunjing was blessed by the Dao Realm Origin, making him practically half a Child of the Dao Realm.
When fighting within the Dao Realm, he is blessed by heaven and earth, making him virtually invincible among those of the same level.
"Want to continue?" Li Yunjing hovered in the air, looking down at the four people, his tone indifferent.
Wei Xiao's face turned pale and then red, his heart filled with shock and fear.
Fight? We can't win.
Retreat? If we just let them pass, the grand plan to Jianzhou will be ruined, and we won't be able to explain it to the sect leader when we return.
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, a more terrifying aura suddenly surged from the depths of the Great Wilderness, towards the direction of the Primordial Beginning Valley.
That aura was as vast as the sky, and its pressure as immense as the sea, far surpassing the Void Refinement Stage and approaching the Body Integration!
An aged yet majestic voice rolled in, resounding throughout heaven and earth:
"Young friend, please have mercy."
Li Yunjing frowned and looked in the direction of Primordial Beginning Valley.
A powerful being at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage!
The old monster in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect has finally made his move.
Space twisted violently like the surface of water, and a pitch-black crack slowly tore open.
An old man dressed in a black Daoist robe emerged from the crack.
His hair and beard were all white, his face was ancient and simple, and he did not exude any Spiritual Qi. However, with each step he took, ripples would spread across the space beneath his feet, as if even the Principle of heaven and earth were making way for him.
A terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of the Void Refinement Stage, slowly descended like a curtain from the sky.
"It's the Ancestor! The Ancestor has emerged from seclusion!"
Wei Xiao and the others were taken aback at first, then their faces lit up with joy, and they all bowed and greeted the Patriarch Xuanji!
The disciples of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect were greatly encouraged, each one holding their head high and looking at the Luozhen Sect members with provocation and disdain.
With Tribulation Transcendence Stage elder presiding over the sect, Luozhen Sect is doomed to defeat today!
On the Luozhen Sect Sect's side, everyone's expression changed drastically.
"The Tribulation Transcendence Stage." Fang Hexuan's voice was strained, and his hand holding the whisk trembled slightly.
Mu You and the others also had solemn expressions and sweaty palms.
Those at the Void Refinement Stage are already powerful figures in their own right, while those at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage are comparable to immortals on land, able to control the world at will. Such beings are simply beyond their ability to contend with.
Only Li Yunjing remained calm.
He looked up at the Patriarch Xuanji in the air, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a hint of coldness.
Patriarch Xuanji stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Li Yunjing with a condescending scrutiny. "So you are Li Yunjing of the Luozhen Sect? At such a young age, to have Middle Void Refinement Stage cultivation and to be able to connect with the Ancestral Vein True Spirit is quite remarkable."
His tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable air of authority, as if he were commenting on a junior.
"I am Xuanji, the Supreme Elder of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect." He spoke slowly, his voice carrying the vicissitudes of time. "The squabbles between juniors should stop short of a fight. The great cause of Jianzhou is no small matter; it is not something a junior like you can interfere with."
"How about this," he said, pausing briefly before speaking in a condescending tone.
"Hand over the map of Jianzhou and the data on the earth's veins, and then Luozhen Sect submit to my Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, and I will forgive your earlier offense of injuring someone. When the sixth state is completed, you will certainly receive your share of the benefits."
